Special Tools Aberdeen

Cutting tools are designed and manufactured precisely for the needs of our customers. We can build tooling to suit application and material specifications using the latest    technology in spindle monitoring and high magnification measuring equipment. We evaluate all areas of tool design, including geometry, carbide grade, edge preparation, and coating, while developing our solutions.

Our cutting tool design and production techniques are advanced enough to enable any combination of cutting tool activities. Individual tools and CNC operations for drilling, counterboring, and finishing reaming a feature, for example, can be merged into a single tool. As the spindle remains in touch with the workpiece, this decreases the number of tool pockets required in the machine’s carousel and reduces non-cutting time.

Our special tools include the following range:

  • Combination Tooling
  • Bulb Tooling (Form)
  • Dovetail & T-slots
  • Form Tooling
  • Taper Ball Nose Tooling
  • Micro Tooling

 

We also apply our knowledge to design and produce bespoke multi-function tools to help improve productivity.  We will work with you to understand your production requirements. Then, we will design and develop the best solution for your specific needs.

Our UK team of expert engineers are always improving production methods and producing optimum performance tooling. You will have one of our specialist team assigned to you, following your project through from idea to completion, working directly with you to make sure you get the very best from Waverley.

IDEA

Send in an image or drawing of what you want. Mention what machine it is for and what you want to make with it. We will give you the design options available. We will advise you on the best material to use for the job. Using lean principles, we will look to improve tool design to make the process more efficient, including zero set tools, tool splitting solutions, quick tool changing, single-pass machining and adjustable tools for varying material sizes.

DESIGN

Once we know the criteria and your unique requirements, our specialist design team will come up with solutions. Using the latest 3D technical CAD software gives us flexibility in design, aiding us in delivering the ideal solution to you. You will be sent them directly from our team and given a chance to work with us on your bespoke project.

MANUFACTURE

Once the designed has been approved, your 3D model gets programmed and then machined. Our raw materials used have full traceability, and we have the latest advances in machining practises. The required cutter blocks are then manufactured using the latest industry 4.0 production methods. By using our advanced mill-turn machine, we produce it in one process. It goes from raw material to a finished component in just one pass.

We use in-process measurement to always ensure quality. Each Tool goes through rigorous testing, inspection and quality checks providing our customers with the assurance that the products received are the best quality. Then, the tools are securely packaged, despatched, and delivered out to you.
